Happy Tuesday, collectors! Today we're adding two new prints to Austin Kleon's arsenal of wise and witty wordsmithings. That there are now eight editions available is testament to Austin's ceaseless creativity, as well as our inability to keep up with him. This writer who draws, after all, has filled a book of Blackout Poems and has another tome on the way. His much anticipated How to Steal Like an Artist won't hit the shelves till March 2012, but you can pre-order a copy (or a few, they're a ridiculous deal at $5.82!).

For faster gratification, I present to you now: How To Be Cool and Open Road. As Austin himself says, "Black(out) goes with everything. [And] art is the best gift you can give." As you know, we whole-heartedly agree. So, might I suggest that these two prints are best for your most difficult to shop for—namely the dudes and lone rangers that you adore? Ante up because, like Austin's other editions, I'm guessing these won't last for long.

If you're seeking instant inspiration: Watch and listen to Austin's insights here. Or read two recent interviews here and here. Hope that tides you over till tomorrow!
